The participants have been chosen according to their experience in the field of adaptation physiology in special environments and exercise. That is why the organizing committee has invited some members of the APS Environmental and Exercise Physiology section and of the Hypoxia Group. The invitation has also been extensive to recognized European and Latin-American researchers in the before mentioned fields. It is important to keep in mind that the organizing committee is still contacting some of the lecturers in Europe, North- and South-America whose names are not included in the actual program. Please note that this is an indicative program; changes may occur as we approach the final conference date.
